"So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view." 2 Cor 5:16 (NIV)...

I take this to mean that, when I see people, I am not to think of them in fleshy type thinking. In other words, I am to consider that person from a spiritual viewpoint. Thus, I am to think of their soul, their eternal destiny, etc. What a tremendous verse. We can get so caught up in exteriors, worldly things that do not really matter...looks, attitudes, fashion, etc.

Right on, Concerto. I think that everyone looks at people with a worldly point of view to some extent. We could all use the spiritual-rose colored glasses to see people as Christ sees them.
Thanks

I think it means we look at every person as whether they are damned or not. We are to consider their salvation above everything else.

In other words, "Pay attention to the opportunities that could be placed right in front of you".

Yes, and we know longer live by secular principles and practices, but by heavenly principles and practices; which is what and how we are to see through. We no longer accept and recognize this world, nor are we a friend of the world.
